🧀 Cheesy Mashed Potato Muffins with Eggs

Ingredients

(Makes about 12 muffins)

  • 2 cups mashed potatoes (leftover or freshly made, cooled)

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or a mix of mozzarella & cheddar)

  • ½ cup milk (or cream for richer muffins)

  • 2 tbsp butter (melted)

  • 2 tbsp chopped chives or green onions (optional)

  • ½ tsp garlic powder (optional but tasty)

  • ½ tsp salt (adjust if mashed potatoes are already seasoned)

  • ¼ tsp black pepper

  • ½ cup all-purpose flour (or ¼ cup flour + ¼ cup breadcrumbs for a firmer texture)

  • ½ tsp baking powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven
    Set to 375°F (190°C). Grease or line a 12-cup muffin tin.

  2. Mix the Base
    In a large bowl, combine mashed potatoes, eggs, milk, melted butter, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

  3. Add Cheese & Greens
    Stir in shredded cheese and chopped chives/green onions.

  4. Add Dry Ingredients
    Sprinkle in flour (and baking powder). Mix until you have a thick but scoopable batter. If too wet, add 1–2 tbsp extra flour.

  5. Fill Muffin Tin
    Spoon mixture evenly into muffin cups, filling about ¾ full.

  6. Bake
    Bake 20–25 minutes until golden and set.

  7. Cool Slightly & Serve
    Let rest 5 minutes before removing from pan. Serve warm with sour cream, ketchup, or hot sauce.

💡 Variations:

  • Add crispy bacon bits or diced ham to the batter.

  • Use parmesan for a sharper cheese flavor.

  • Sprinkle extra cheese on top before baking for a gooey crust.
